On Monday, I looked at the concentration index scores for a number of quarterbacks based on the number of touchdowns thrown to each receiver (more details on the formula available there and here). Today, the reverse: how diverse (or not diverse) were receivers with respect to the number of quarterba2017-08-09 08:36:414/5: FootballPerspective.com- Tony Romo Has Borderline HOF Stats (Era-Adjusted)http://www.footballperspective.com/tony-romo-has-borderline-hof-stats-era-adjusted/
Yesterday, Tony Romo announced that he was retiring from football after an excellent career with the Cowboys. Now here are two interesting questions: will he be a Hall of Famer? And should he be a Hall of Famer? Regular readers will recall that in 2014, I looked at how Eli Manning&#8217;s stats comp2017-04-05 08:35:541/23: FootballPerspective.com- Adjusting Passer Rating for Era: Part VI (Career Passer Ratings)http://www.footballperspective.com/adjusting-passer-rating-for-era-part-vi-career-passer-ratings/

Yesterday, I looked at the best seasons in TD/INT Ratios after adjusting for era. Today? The worst, using the same formula. Only one quarterback has ever qualified for the league passing crown but also failed to throw a touchdown: Bobby Hoying in 1998. That season is the only thing keeping rookie Ry2016-08-16 07:35:476/16: FootballPerspective.com- Guest Post: Bryan Frye On Quarterback Adjustments (Career)http://www.footballperspective.com/guest-post-bryan-frye-on-quarterback-adjustments-career/
Todayâs post is a follow-up to my recent article on adjusting quarterback stats for schedule length and passing environment. In the original piece, I provided you with single-season stats with various era adjustments made.

You may have heard that former Colts and Broncos great Peyton Manning has announced his retirement. He left the game as the career leader in touchdown passes and yards (on top of other, less notable records). He has been lauded by an adoring media and legions of fans, and deservedly so.

Let&#8217;s take a look at the league average dropbacks (pass attempts + sacks) per game for each year from 1950 to 2014. Obviously there has been a significant amount of variation, with the passing game being on life support in 1956 and peaking in recent times. As a result, we must adjust for era w2015-07-12 00:38:586/10: FootballPerspective.com- Comparing the AAFC and NFL in 1950: Part I (Quarterbacks)http://www.footballperspective.com/comparing-the-aafc-and-nfl-in-1950-part-i-quarterbacks/
There were 220 touchdown passes thrown during the 1950 season. Let&#8217;s break down who threw those scores into three categories: 22 were thrown by players who were not playing professional football in 1949, including rookies like Tobin Rote and Adrian Burk. 137, or 69% of the remaining 198, were 2015-06-10 00:38:496/5: The GridFe- AAFC Offenseshttp://www.thegridfe.com/2015/06/05/aafc-offenses/
Earlier this week, I looked at the NFL offenses of the 1940s. However, the NFL was not the only major football league during this time.

The Cleveland Browns were facing a dilemma heading into the 1955 NFL season, one that would be very familiar to fans even now, 60 years later. Following the 1954 NFL Championship Game in which he threw for three touchdowns and ran for three more in a 56-10 beating of Detroit, Otto Graham decided ...2015-05-21 17:38:104/17: FootballPerspective.com- Guest Post: Brad Oremland, Quarterback Rankings, and Requesting Feedbackhttp://www.footballperspective.com/guest-post-brad-oremland-quarterback-rankings-and-requesting-feedback/
Brad Oremland is a longtime commenter and a fellow football historian. Brad is also a senior NFL writer at Sports Central.

I previously looked at points per game by each quarterback in his starts and points per game allowed by each quarterback in his starts. Please check there for the fine print. Today, we put it all together, for a list of points differential per game in games started by each quarterback.

Please see yesterday&#8217;s post for the fine print. The table below shows the average points per game allowed in games started by each quarterback, minimum 15 games (but the ranks only count for quarterbacks with 50 or more starts).

Aaron Rodgers has started 114 games (including playoffs) in his career. In those games, the Packers have averaged 28.5 points per game (including non-offensive scores), the highest average for any quarterback in his team&#8217;s starts in NFL history.

Back in November, Cian Fahey tweeted me a simple question: &#8220;What is Alex Smith&#8217;s record in games where his D gives up 21 or more points?&#8221; I made a note to run the numbers in the off-season, and guess what? It&#8217;s the off-season.

Late Monday night, 49ers linebacker and tackling machine Chris Borland announced that he was retiring due to concerns over the toll a longer career would have on his mind and body.

The red dots represent Hall of Fame quarterbacks (or players not yet eligible but very likely to wind up in Canton). The blue dots represent non-HOF quarterbacks. The black dot?

Yesterday, I explained the methodology behind the formula involved in ranking every quarterback season since 1960. Today, Iâm going to present the career results. Converting season value to career value isnât as simple as it might seem.

With one game remaining, Peyton Manning has already set the new single-season record with 51 passing touchdowns (two months ago, I projected Manning to finish the season with 52 touchdowns). But all records must be viewed in their environment, and NFL teams are averaging 1.58 touchdown passes per te2013-12-25 23:36:4012/2: FootballPerspective.com- Where does Brees-Wilson rank among shortest QB matchups?http://www.footballperspective.com/where-does-brees-wilson-rank-among-shortest-qb-matchups/
New Orlean&#8217;s Drew Brees is officially listed as six feet tall. Seattle&#8217;s Russell Wilson is officially listed as 5&#8217;11. That means the average height of the starting quarterbacks in tonight&#8217;s game is 71.5 inches, tied for the shortest average in any game since 1964.
